that guys is the biggest idiot I have ever seen. probably trying to take it off with an air tool... and stripped the CRAP outta it.
Give me a wrench and sockets with a hugge breaker bar over air tools any day. Who would ever use lugs like thaT?

Haha, yeah caught that on Samba last night.
I love how he tries to blame it on being a VW. (http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff287/mccavittj/GENIUSWileE.jpg)

I have done some dumb things in my time, but never ever was I that dumb. I shared this as I consider it a failure of epic proportion. This fails more at life than me trying to spell ;D
This is my favorite line "I'll paypal you $20 to JB Weld it back together and try to drive on it." Judging by his actions to take it off I bet he would too, but I should just :-X
If, and that is a big IF, I ever had a problem too big to handle before the recip saw I think I would have taken it to a mechanic and let him have the liability of getting it off w/o hurting the rim. But yeah, there were about 10 things to try before even getting to that point.

sometimes in your travels, when life presents you with one MOTHER of a problem, you automatically resort to epic proportions. We've all done it (hopefully not to this extent). lmao
Trading for rims from a tire shop- free
replacing said rims with new rims after getting a lug stuck and resorting to cutting them apart- several hundred dollars
being brave enough to post your epic failure on the internet and having the balls to blame the car manufacturer- Priceless.
Where was this guy from? lol

Ha absolutly ********. Whatever happend to natural selection? ???

What a 'nonmechanicaly minded individual'! >:( Why why why. Some peoples brains are not very affective I guess HAHAHAHA Since it was already LOOSE he put a tap in it to try and PULL it out HAHAHAHA. He mustuv never thought it had threads inside it!!
I wish I could find some brass drill bits and EZ outs
-
The thing that amazes me the most is that he keeps on replying.. like "how cool is this", and "wow, zillion visits to this post".
-
Ouch...

who is that comedian that says "here's your sign." ?
-
Notice how its on a Civic Forum...and he blames VW....Sounds like a typical Civic owner.

Hey guys unless you are refering to timing it'd be appriated if we avoid using the term retard.
Bill Engvall is the comedian you are looking for

Bah. Civic owners aren't always the worst, as you shall see in this forum:

I have a hard time believing anyone would do that.......I guess toilets flush with water so he just figured water could flush his engine too :o

To the original problem. If you hit the lug with a steel drift a few times with a 20 lb sledge hammer, it will compress the aluminum of the wheel and remove the tension. Then it will come out easily. I had to do it on a set of snowflakes with locking lugs.

I cold-chiseled a recalcitrant 1.5D headbolt once... It was a neat experience. :D

Trolls.... that is all. Theres one on every board. Like the guy who poured a NOS energy drink in his gixxer, or the guy who poured sand in his intake to port and polish it... Trolls.

I dunno man, I believe that there ARE(lol) people as stupid as to do all that... and think it is what needs to be done. Lol Not everyone has an awesome forum to learn from.

I think in some countries this man may actually be executed! lol FAILED at life!

Years back I had a customer with a Grand Prix GTP.. It had one of those "oil change " lights.. He traded this car on one of the last year Firebirds.. Top of the line of course, WS6 package I think.. The "oil change light" came on so he brought in for service.. Pulled the drain plug, looked like a mix of gear lube and wheel bearing grease.. Hmm Looked at the clock 63K miles on it.. Hmm come to think of it, it has been a while since he's been in for service... Gave him a call about it.. Nope oil never changed since it left the lot, he was waiting for the "change oil" light like his old car had.. Sadly the change oil light in the Fireturd was actually the oil pressure light coming on and off..

You mean that there ARE people as stupid as that. Yes I think it could happen, but it comes up on at least every forum once. Its a good way to get a *** load of traffic on the site.

thank you for correcting my midnight typo lol.
and yeah, I guess it could be a ploy for numbers on the site... but why? Why do you have to be stupid to get people to notice your site? I know why, because you have a lame site lol.

Cause someone goes, no way that cant be real and links it to another site, where countless other people check it out and so on.
Do you really think a dude who washed his engine out with water deserved a thread 30 pages long? This cat thinks not.
You don't have to be stupid to get people to notice your site, but things like this are so unbelievably stupid that they are funny. There are so many examples of sheer stupidity like this that people document for some reason it just cant all be real. Could a guy actually flush his engine with water? Yes, its very easy to do. But it just seems wayyy to far fetched.
Stupid should hurt... that is all.

You know what German thing I like as much as VW's and a good lager? The concept of schadenfreude. If to err is to be human, than these winners are superhuman, but I don't think they are the ubermensch Nietzsche had in mind. I laughed so hard it hurts. I love it.

I still can't help but think if I didn't have the knowledge to do the job I would pay to have it done. Rims like that aren't cheap and I AM. I just couldn't have ruined a wheel to get it off. I would have paid a garage or tire shop to save the rim, even if he didn't need it, he could have sold it for the cost of paying someone else probably.
All that said, man that is funny stuff. Usually if you have the knowledge of a recip saw you usually have been around enough to have a penetrating oil, non "brass" drills, and a torch or at least access to them. I have never seen brass drills-tin coated yes, but brass-maybe they are out there. I guess the beauty of the forums is that he hopefully will learn and won't be my entertainment next time----but I really hope he doesn't learn, becuase that was the best laugh I have had for a long time:D

Amen. Coming from someone like me where gas and flames go together better than me and a set of tools, even I thought of drilling through the bolt if possible to remove it. One might think a reputable tire shop, or European specialist repair shop could have removed it as well.
As bad as I am with tools, I am at least smart enough to NOT put a sawzall (with oil) to a pricey rim. And then post it on a website.
Hell, I would have posted on here asking for help first.
Let's hope he doesn't reproduce.....lolol.
Stay safe, stay well. JImmy.

The guy kept saying he couldn't get any tire shops to work on it unless he he also bought wheels from them, then later he goes on to say that now he has a good excuse to buy new rims :-\.
So he could've paid a tire shop to get it off then sell the set and then buy a new set. Instead he ruins the wheel, then goes out and buys a new set. Saaaaad

thats kinda like getting stuck in such a deep mud hole that they have to roll your truck on its top to get it out. thats a pretty big fail. he just sat there and dug himself so deep in the ruts that nobody could yank him from the front or rear.
